In the beginning, Tim Berners-Lee created HTML. He was a British computer scientist working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. In 1989, he proposed a new way to share information over the internet using a system of hypertext documents. These documents would be linked together using hyperlinks, and they could be displayed in a web browser.

Berners-Lee called his system the World Wide Web, and he wrote the first version of HTML to create web pages. HTML is a markup language, which means that it uses tags to describe the structure and content of a web page. The tags are enclosed in angle brackets, and they tell the web browser how to display the text, images, and other elements of the page.

The first version of HTML was very simple, but it quickly evolved to support more complex features. In 1993, Berners-Lee released version 1.0 of HTML, which included support for tables, forms, and images. In 1995, version 2.0 of HTML was released, which added support for frames, cascading style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript.

Differences between HTML 1 and HTML 2
Feature	HTML 1	HTML 2
Tags	A limited number of tags, such as <b>, <i>, and <p>	A wider range of tags, such as <table>, <form>, and <img>
Formatting	Limited formatting options, such as font size and color	More formatting options, such as background colors and images
Links	Links were supported, but they were limited to text links	Links could be used to point to any type of content, such as images, videos, and other web pages
Images	Images were supported, but they were limited to GIF and JPEG formats	Images could be used in a wider range of formats, such as PNG, SVG, and BMP
Tables	Tables were not supported	Tables were supported, and they could be used to create complex layouts
Forms	Forms were not supported	Forms were supported, and they could be used to collect user input
JavaScript	Not supported	Supported, but limited in scope

HTML has continued to evolve over the years, and the latest version, HTML5, was released in 2014. HTML5 includes support for many new features, such as video, audio, and geolocation. It also makes it easier to create responsive web pages that look good on all devices.

HTML is the foundation of the World Wide Web, and it is still the most popular markup language in use today. It is used to create web pages for businesses, organizations, and individuals all over the world. HTML is a powerful tool that can be used to create anything from simple static pages to complex interactive applications.

Glossary of HTML terms

Tags: The basic building blocks of HTML. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets, and they tell the web browser how to display the text, images, and other elements of a web page.
Elements: A group of tags that work together to create a specific type of content, such as a heading, a paragraph, or a list.
Attributes: Additional information that can be added to tags to customize their behavior. For example, the href attribute can be used to specify the URL of a link.
Entities: Special characters that can be used to represent non-text characters, such as copyright symbols and mathematical symbols.

Coding HTML

HTML tags are enclosed in angle brackets, and they tell the web browser how to display the text, images, and other elements of the page.

For example, the following code will create a simple web page with the text "Hello, world!" in the center of the page:

    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>Hello, world!</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
      </body>
    </html>

Note, that tags like ~~<center>~~ and ~~<big>~~ have been replaced with CSS.
It's possible to have ^superscript as well as _subscript

In a code-editor like VS Code, you can create a new HTML-document using the Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut.
